CATHARINE  LORILLARD  WOLFE,  DAUGHTER  OF  JOHN  DAVID 
WOLFE  AND  DOROTHEA  ANN  LORILLARD  HIS  WIFE,  WAS  BORN 
IN  NEW  YORK  CITY,  MARCH  STH,  1828. 

SHE  DIED  IN  THIS  CITY,   APRIL  4TH,   1887. 

Miss  Wolfe  was  descended  from  an  old  Lutheran  family  in 
Saxony,  whence  her  great  grandfather,  John  David  Wolfe,  came 
to  this  country  before  the  year  1729.  He  died  in  1759,  leaving 
four  children,  of  whom  the  eldest  was  David.  David  Wolfe  lived 
till  near  the  end  of  a  long  life  of  eighty-eight  years  in  the  old 
family  residence  on  Fair,  now  Fulton  Street,  and  this,  with  other 
city  real  estate  has  remained  in  the  possession  of  the  family  to 
the  present  time.  In  the  war  of  the  revolution,  David  Wolfe 
and  his  brother  Christopher  served  their  country  with  credit. 
After  the  war  David  and  his  younger  brother,  John  Albert,  were 
partners  as  hardware  merchants  in  this  city,  and  about  1816  they 
were  succeeded  in  business  by  Christopher,  son  of  John  Albert, 
and  John  David,  son  of  David. 

John  David  Wolfe,  (born  July  24,  1792),  retired  from  active 
business  in  the  prime  of  his  life.  Thereafter  he  devoted  his 
large  wealth  and  judicious  labors  to  benevolent  purposes,  largely 
in  the  foundation  and  encouragement  of  educational,  charitable 
and  religious  institutions.  He  was  devoutly  attached  to  the 
Episcopal  church,  was  for  some  time  vestryman  of  Trinity  parish; 
afterward  vestryman,  and  at  the  time  of  his  death,  senior  warden 
of  Grace  church.  His  memory  is  perpetuated  in  many  noble 
institutions,  not  only  in  his  native  city  but  in  various  and  remote 
parts  of  the  country.  Some  of  these  were  foundations  laid  by 
himself  alone,  others  by  him  in  association  with  generous  men  who 
were  imbued  with  like  spirit.  The  gifts  and  noble  works  of  these 
men  have  made  the  fame  of  the  merchant  princes  of  New  York 

J

an  enduring  and  priceless  possession  to  their  successors,  their  city 
and  the  world.  Mr.  Wolfe's  charities  were  always  without  ostenta- 
tion, and  his  private  gifts  were  undoubtedly  larger  than  those 
which  were  known.  Churches  and  church  foundations  of  benev- 
olence and  education  in  all  parts  of  the  country  received  his  never 
failing  aid.  St.  Johnland  on  Long  Island,  the  Sheltering  Arms  in 
this  city,  the  High  School  at  Denver  in  Colorado,  the  Diocesan 
School  at  Topeka  in  Kansas,  the  Theological  Seminary  in  Ohio, 
these  and  many  other  institutions  bear  witness  to  his  munificent 
heart  and  hands.  He  was  warmly  attached  to  the  New  York 
Historical  Society  in  whose  important  work  and  collections  he 
was  a  free  contributor  of  means  and  an  active  personal  laborer. 
He  was  one  of  the  founders  of  the  American  Museum  of  Natural 
History  in  this  city,  and  was  its  first  President  when  he  died, 
May  17,  1872,  in  the  eightieth  year  of  his  age,  leaving  but  one 
child,  Catharine  Loriilard,  surviving  him,  who  succeeded  to  the 
large  property. 

Miss  Wolfe  was  endowed  with  a  mind  of  remarkable 
power,  cultivated  by  education,  reading  and  extended  travel. 
Her  biography  cannot  be  written  here.  She  devoted  herself 
and  her  large  and  largely  increasing  wealth  to  the  widest  and 
most  effective  charity,  governing  herself  in  her  gifts  by  careful 
examination  and  calm  judgment,  where  personal  investiga- 
tion could  be  made,  and  where  that  was  not  possible,  displaying 
her  superior  ability  in  the  selection  of  sound  and  trustworthy 
advisers,  on  whom  she  relied  with  confidence.  The  catalogue  of 
her  specific  charities  would  be  much  longer  than  this  catalogue 
of  her  collection  of  paintings.  Her  catholic  disposition  in  these 
may  be  gathered  from  the  names  of  a  few  such  objects  of  her 
larger  appropriations,  as  Union  College  at  Schenectady,  St. 
Luke's  Hospital  in  New  York,  the  noble  charities  at  St.  Johnland 
on  Long  Island,  the  American  Chapel  at  Rome  in  Italy,  the 
Italian  Mission  in  Mulberry  Street,  New  York,  the  American 
School  of  Classical  Studies  at  Athens,  Grace  Church  in  New- 
York  City,  to  which  she  gave  the  chantry  and  other  buildings, 
The  Wolfe  Expedition  to  Asia,  the  Home  for  Incurables  at  Ford- 
ham,  the  Diocesan  House  in  Lafayette  Place,  New  York — the 
list  must  stop  abruptly.  There  is  not  space  to  enumerate  half  of 
her  recorded  gifts,  in  sums  varying  from  twenty  to  two  hundred 


CATHARINE  LORILLARD  WOLFE.  5 

thousand  dollars.  But  those  who  should  form  an  estimate  of 
Miss  Wolfe's  benevolence  from  the  mere  magnitude  and  number 
of  her  gifts,  would  fail  to  appreciate  her  inner  life  and  character. 
She  was  constant  and  unfailing  in  personal  charities  among 
those  who  were  suffering.  She  visited  the  poor,  and  her  presence 
always  carried  with  it  the  atmosphere  of  purity  and  kindness  in 
which  she  lived.  She  educated  young  girls;  she  had  always  large 
numbers  of  beneficiaries;  she  sought  out  opportunities  to  relieve 
the  poor  and  those  who  were  in  trouble  or  sorrow.  When  she 
was  absent  in  Europe  she  did  not  forget  home  benevolence.  A 
friend  tells  of  her  sending  to  him  in  New  York,  from  her  boat 
on  the  Nile,  $25,000  in  a  check,  to  be  distributed  in  charities. 

Nor  did  she,  while  devoting  so  much  of  her  life  to  good  works, 
fail  in  any  degree  to  fulfill  the  duties  of  that  position  in  the  social 
world  to  which  she  was  called  by  her  wealth  and  her  accomplish- 
ments. She  recognized  those  duties,  and  performed  them  with 
grace  and  dignity  as  the  accomplished  hostess  in  her  own  house, 
and  the  always  welcome  guest  in  others.  Those  who  knew  her 
best  admired  and  loved  her  most. 

She  had  from  early  life  cultivated  her  affection  for  the  fine 
arts,  and  before  her  father's  death  had  purchased  several  paint- 
ings which  are  in  the  present  catalogue.  Her  taste  was  excellent, 
and  her  judgment  strengthened  by  study  and  very  thorough 
acquaintance  with  the  works  of  old  and  modern  artists.  She 
had  therefore,  great  enjoyment  in  gathering  around  her,  in  her 
city  residence,  examples  of  masters  in  the  modern  schools,  a 
work  which  was  continued  steadily  from  year  to  year  through 
her  life,  and  in  which  she  was  happy  in  her  reliance  for  advice 
and  assistance  on  her  kinsman  John  Wolfe,  Esq.,  through  whom 
most  of  her  selections  .were  made.  Nevertheless  she  exercised 
a  completely  independent  taste,  which  decided  her,  after  thorough 
Acquaintance  with  a  painting,  whether  to  retain  or  reject  it.  The 
collection  which  is  here  catalogued  is  therefore  an  absolute 
record  of  the  educated  and  refined  taste  of  the  lady  whose  name 
it  bears. 

Miss  Wolfe  had  a  constant  interest  in  the  Metropolitan  Museum 
of  Art  to  whose  collections  she  had  been  a  large  contributor,  and 
of  which  she  was  one  of  the  patrons.  Her  interest  in  Art 
History  had  been  exhibited  s'  only  before  her  death  by  her  gift 


CATHARINE  LORILLARD  WOLFE. 


to  the  American  School  at  Athens,  and  by  her  payment  of  the 
expenses  of  an  expedition  to  Asia,  for  the  purpose  of  exploration, 
with  reference  to  future  work  of  excavation  among  the  buried 
remains  of  Ancient  Art. 

By  her  last  will  she  disposed  of  more  than  a  million  dollars  in 
money  and  objects  of  art,  for  the  perpetuation  of  those  works  of 
Christian  charity  and  centres  of  education  of  the  people  to  which 
her  father  and  herself  had  so  wisely  and  faithfully  contributed. 
Her  gifts  to  the  Museum  of  Art  illustrate  the  judicious  considera- 
tion which  had  characterized  all  her  generosity.  Taking  into 
consideration,  as  few  have  ever  done,  the  fact  that  in  a  museum 
without  an  endowment,  dependent  on  its  members  for  its  current 
expenses,  every  new  gift  entails  increased  expense  on  the  institu- 
tion, she  not  only  gave  to  the  museum  her  collection  of  paint- 
ings, but  added  an  endowment  of  $200,000,  the  income  to  be 
used  for  the  preservation  and  increase  of  the  collection. 

The  following  is  an  extract  from  the  section  of  her  will,  making 

these  provisions: 

'"I  give  and  bequeath  to  the  Metropolitan  Museum  of  Art,  chartered  by  the 
State  of  New  York  and  located  in  the  City  of  New  York,  all  articles  of  the 
following  descript  on  which  may  belong  to  me  at  the  time  of  my  decease  and  be. 
then  situated  or  remaining  in  the  City  of  New  York,  namely:  my  entire  col- 
lection of  modern  oil  paintings,  with  their  frames,  and  also  my  water  color 
drawings  with  their  frames,  which  paintings  include  the  original  portrait  of  my 
late  father,  John  D-vid  Wulfe,  by  Huntington,  and  my  own  portrait  by 
Alexander  Cabanel,  all  which  works  of  art  by  this  section  of  my  will  disposed  of 
shall  be  properly  selected,  and  scheduled  by  my  executors,  and  shall  thereafter 
and  within  six  months  after  my  decease  be  delivered  by  them  to  said  Metropolitan 
Museum  of  Art  as  its  own  absoluce  property,  and  subject  to  its  absolute  disposal, 
but  with  the  desire  and  hope  on  my  part  that  the  same  may  be  had,  held  and 
exhibited  by  that  institution  for  the  enjoyment  and  recreation  of  all  who  m^y 
frequent  its  rooms,  and  also  with  a  view  to  the  education  and  cultivation  of  the 
public  taste  for  the  fine  arts.^  This  gift,  however,  is  upon  express  condition 
that  the  trustees  and  managers  of  said  institution  shall  provide  and  set  apart 
exclusively  for  the  said  collection  a  suitable,  well-lighted  fire-proof  apartment, 
gallery  or  separate  space,  where  the  paintings  and  water  color  drawings  herein 
mentioned  shall  be  properly  arranged  and  displayed;  and  provided  also,  that 
said  collection  shall  be  designated  and  continue  to  be  known  as  the  "Catharine 
Lorillard  Wolfe  Collection."  And  in  order  to  provide  for  the  better  preservation 
of  the  said  paintings  and  drawings,  and  the  future  increase  of  said  collection,  I 
give  and  bequeath  to  my  executors  the  sum  of  two  hundred  thousand  dollars  in 
money  (or  in  stocks  or  securities  deemed  by  them  to  be  of  that  value)  upon  trust, 
to  be  held  and  kept  invested  in  United  States  or  State  stocks  or  bonds  in  good 
credit,  or  other  securities,  strictly  approved  for  the  investment  of  trust  funds, 
and  to  receive  the  interest  or  income  thereof  and  apply  the  net  amount  of  the 
same  as  it  shall  from  time  to  time  accrue  to  the  use  of  the  said  Metropolitan 
Museum  of  Art  during  the  lives  of  David  Wolfe  Bishop  and  Louie  L.  Lorillard, 
two  of  said  executors,  and  the  life  of  the  survivor  of  them  to  the  intent  that  such 
income  shall  be  applied  from  time  to  time  by  said  institution  for  such  judicious 
repairs  as  may  be  necessary  to  the  said  works  of  art,  and  any  surplus  thereof  to- 
be  expended  for  the  purchase  or  acquisition  of  other  original  modern  oil  paint- 
ings, either  by  native  or  foreign  artists,  but  only  for  works  e>f  acknowledged 
merit  and  superior  excellence,  both  in  subject  and  execution,  in  the  departments 
cf  art  known  as  figure,  landscape  and  genre  subjects,  and  which  shall  become 
additions  to  the  original  collection  hereby  bequeathed,  and  shall  continue  to  be 
part  of  the  collection  designated  and  known  as  aforesaid."

28.  KAULBACH,    WILHELM.— Crusaders   before   Jerusalem.     The   in- 
tention of  the  artist  was  to  express  symbolically  the  idea  that  Christianity 
has  become  the  triumphant  religion  of  the  universe ;  in  the  middle  and 
extreme  distance  can  be  seen  the  city  of  Jerusalem  with  its  domes  and 
palaces,  the  crusaders  coveted  goal;  somewhat  removed,  some  crusaders 
contemplate   the  city  from  a  hill-top,    a  group  of    eminent   knights, 
ecclesiastics,  bishops  and  crusade  preachers;  on  another  hill  to  the  right 
can  be  seen  the  army  of  crusaders  commanded  by  Godfrey  cf  Bouillon, 
who  holds  uplifted  in  both  hands,  a  crown,  symbol  of  the  divine  right  of 
the  Kings  of  Jerusalem;  near  him  are  Boemond  and  Tancredi,  soldiers 
who  had  distinguished  themselves  in  the  memorable  battles  the  crusaders 
fought  with  the  Saracens.    The  ground  is  covered  with  the  enemy's  dead. 
On  the  foreground  in  the  middle,  are  Peter  of  Amiens  on  his  knees,  with 
eyes  turned  towards  the  Holy  city  and  offering  to  God  prayers  of  thanks- 
giving.     Behind   him  a  group  of  penitents   lying   on  the  ground   or 
scourging    themselves;    above,    borne    on   clouds,    is  seen   the  divine 
apparition  of  the  Redeemer  accompanied  by  the  Holy  Virgin  and  sur- 
rounded by  the  Saints  and  Martyrs.     Godfrey  of  Bouillon  bearing  on  his 
head  a  crown  of  thorns,  offers  the  crown  of  the  Holy  Land  to  the  Saviour, 
the  real  King  of  Jerusalem.     Near  Peter  of  Amiens  is  a  group  of  fervent 
psalmists  of  the  Christian  faith,  followed  by  the  Knights  in  magnificent 
armor.     The  Troubadour  of  the  middle  ages,  so  closely  associated  with 
the  romances  of  the  Crusaders,  here  also  finds  his  place.     The  beautiful 
Armida,  borne  seated  on  a  litter  draped  with  laurel  branches,  is  carried 
by  Moors,  while  her  Knight,  Rinaldo,  leads  the  way  to  the  city,  as  pious, 
and  beautiful,  she  lifts  her  gaze  to  the  heavenly  apparition.

81.  BRETON,  JULES.— Religious  Procession  in  Brittany.     Purchased  in 
1873  from  the  collection  of  the  late   Baron  Strausberger,  Berlin. 

The  Brittany  peasantry  are  almost  as  wild  as  their  country,  excessively 
quaint  in  their  costume,  wearing  broad-brimmed  hats  and  flowing  hair,  and 
in  some  districts  trunk  hose  of  the  l6th  century:  They  are  usually  spare 
and  wiry  in  their  persons,  are  almost  unchanged  in  their  manners, 
customs  and  habits,  and  old  legends  and  superstitions  still  retain  their  hold 
on  the  popular  mind.  Of  ancient  monuments  of  different  ages  there  is  no 
lack  in  Brittany, and  above  all  of  Celtic  remains ;  those  extraordinary  masses 
of  rough  unhewn  stones  are  supposed  to  be  in  some  way  connected  with  the 


14  METROPOLITAN  MUSEUM  OF  ART. 


religion  of  the  Druids.  Brittany  appears  to  have  been  the  sacred  land  of  the 
Gauls,  the  centre  of  their  worship  to  which  the  various  nations  and  tribes 
repaired  on  pilgrimages  at  stated  times  to  pay  their  devotions.  Their 
mysterious  influence  is  not  yet  by  any  means  effaced  from  the  minds  of 
the  lower  orders  of  Brittany.  The  influence  of  paganism  lingered  long 
in  these  remote  wilds,  indeed  the  inhabitants  of  Ouessant  are  said  to  have 
been  idolaters  until  within  two  hundred  years.  Hence  has  arisen  a  strange 
jumble  of  paganism  and  Romanism.  Heathen  divinities  were  replaced 
by  saints,  of  which  the  number  in  Brittany  exceeds  that  of  any  part  of 
Romish  Europe.  Almost  every  church  has  its  strange  legend,  and 
every  saint  his  special  patronage,  and  on  his  fete  day  a  pilgrimage  or 
Pardon  is  celebrated,  when  indulgence  for  past  sins  is  obtained.  These 
pardons  or  festivals  often  are  nearly  equivalent  to  the  German  Kirchweich, 
the  Flemish  Kermes,  and  the  Irish  Wake.  The  pardon  St.  Mathurin 
held  at  Lamballe  on  Whit  Sunday  is  much  frequented  by  pilgrims,  who 
dance  the  old  Breton  dances.  The  pardon  celebrated  four  times  a  year 
at  Rumegol  near  Le  Faou  is  attended  with  very  curious  ceremonies. 
These  pardons  take  place  at  fixed  periods  around  about  certain  churches, 
but  often  in  uncultivated  fields,  where  tents  are  erected  and  where  the 
fete  continues  for  several  days  and  is  attended  by  thousands  of  the 
peasantry  of  both  sexes  The  most  important  of  these  pardons  are  those 
of  St.  Anne  d'  Auray,  and  of  St  Anne  de  Palud,  which  last  is  the  most 
picturesque  of  all,  and  takes  place  at  the  sea-side.  The  one  represented 
in  M.  Breton's  picture  is  held  at  Kergoat,  near  Douarnenez  and  Quimper.

who  were  making  havoc  among  his  people  on  the  first  day  of  May,  1811, 
convened  under  a  false  pretext,  their  leaders. 

They  were  to  meet  in  the  old  Palace  of  Cairo,  and  these  proud 
Mamelukes  in  gorgeous  robes,  and  golden  helmets  shining  in  the  sun, 
rode  up  the  strange  narrow  street  cut  out  of  the  solid  rock,  where  in  this 
narrow  defile,  conscienceless  Mehemet  laid  his  trap.  When  the  brilliant 
procession  arrived  at  the  gate  "  El  Azale,"  the  soldiers  cried  "  Treason  " 
as  they  saw  each  house  filled  with  Albanians  armed  with  long  guns. 
The  Mamelukes  surrounded  by  impassable  walls,  fell  like  ripe  corn  under 
a  hail  of  bullets,  a  confused  mass  of  men  and  beasts  :  the  horses  neighing 
in  their  fright  bounded  through  pools  of  blood  over  the  bodies  of  the 
wounded,  while  the  conquerors  of  a  hundred  battles,  now  conquered, 
shook  their  clenched  fists  at  the  terrible  walls.  Death  passed  over  them 
like  a  whirlwind,  not  sparing  one  out  of  the  five  hundred  horsemen."

Mile.  Rosa  Bonheur  made  her  Debut  at  the  Paris  Salon  of 
1841,  to  which  she  sent  two  small  pictures  of  sheep,  goats 
and  rabbits.  She  exhibited  each  following  year  except  1851-52. 
In  1853  she  exhibited  her  masterpiece,  the  now  famous  "Horse 
Fair."  The  subsequent  history  of  this  Painting  is  given  in  the  fol- 
lowing extract  from  a  letter  written  to  Mr.  S.  P.  Avery  by  Mr.  Ernest 
•Gambart,  the  original  purchaser  of  the  picture,  formerly  of  London, 
and  now  retired  from  business  and  living  at  Nice  :  "I  will  give  you 
the  real  history  of  the  '  Horse  Fair '  now  in  New  York.  It  was 
painted  in  1852  by  Rosa  Bonheur,  then  in  her  thirtieth  year,  and 
exhibited  in  the  next  Salon.  Though  much  admired,  it  did  not  find 
a  purchaser.  It  was  soon  after  exhibited  at  Ghent,  meeting  again 
with  much  appreciation,  but  was  not  sold,  as  art  did  not  flourish  at 
the  time.  In  1855,  the  picture  was  sent  by  Mile.  Rosa  Bonheur  to 
her  native  town  of  Bordeaux  and  exhibited  there.  She  offered  to  sell 
it  to  the  town  at  the  very  low  price  of  12,000  francs  ($2,400).  While

there  I  asked  her  if  she  would  sell  it  to  me  and  allow  me  to  take  it  to* 
England  and  have  it  engraved.  She  said  ;  'I  wish  my  picture  to 
remain  in  France.  I  will  once  more  impress  on  my  countrymen  my 
wish  to  sell  it  to  them  for  12,000  francs.  If  they  refuse,  you  can  have 
it,  but  if  you  take  it  abroad  you  must  pay  me  40,000  francs.'  The 
town  failing  to  make  the  purchase  I  at  once  accepted  these  terms, 
and  Rosa  Bonheur  then  placed  the  picture  at  my  disposal.  I  ten- 
dered her  the  40,000  francs  and  she  said  :  '  I  am  much  gratified  at 
your  giving  me  such  a  noble  price,  but  I  do  not  like  to  feel  that  I 
have  taken  advantage  of  your  liberality.  Let  us  see  how  we  can 
combine  in  the  matter.  You  will  not  be  able  to  have  an  engraving 
made  from  so  large  a  canvas.  Suppose  I  paint  you  a  small  one  of 
the  same  subject,  of  which  I  will  make  you  a  present.'  Of  course  I 
accepted  the  gift,  and  thus  it  happened  that  the  large  work  went  trav- 
elling over  the  kingdom  on  exhibition,  while  Thomas  Landseer  was 
making  an  engraving  from  the  quarter-size  replica. 

"  After  some  time,  in  1857  (I  think),  I  sold  the  original  picture  to 
Mr.  Wm.  P.  Wright,  New  York  (whose  picture  gallery  and  residence 
were  at  Weehauken,  N.  J.),  for  the  sum  of  30,000  francs,  but  as  he 
claimed  a  share  of  the  profits  of  its  exhibition  in  New  York  and  other 
cities,  he  really  paid  me  only  22,000  francs  for  it.  I  offered  to  re- 
purchase the  picture  in  1870  for  50,000  fiancs,  but  ultimately  I  un- 
derstood that  Mr.  Stewart  paid  a  much  larger  price  for  it  on  the  dis- 
persion of  Mr.  Wright's  gallery.  The  quarter-size  replica,  from 
which  the  engraving  was  made,  I  finally  sold  to  Mr.  Jacob  Bell,  who^ 
bequeathed  it,  in  1859,  to  the  nation,  and  it  is  now  in  the  National 
Gallery  in  London.  A  second,  still  smaller  replica,  was  painted  a 
few  years  later,  and  was  re-sold  some  time  ago  in  London  for  ^"4,000 
($20,000).  There  is  also  a  smaller  water-color  drawing,  which  was 
sold  to  Mr.  Bolckow  for  2,500  guineas  ($12,000),  and  is  now  an  heir- 
loom belonging  to  the  town  of  Middleborough.  That  is  the  whole 
history  of  this  grand  work.  The  Stewart  canvas  is  the  real  and  true 
original,  and  only  large  size  '  Horse  Fair.' 

"  Once  in  Mr.  Stewart's  possession,  it  never  left  his  gallery  until 
the  auction  sale  of  his  collection,  March  25,  1887,  when  it  was  pur- 
chased by  Mr.  Cornelius  Vanderbilt  for  the  sum  of  $53,500,  and  pre- 
sented to  The  Metropolitan  Museum  of  Art.  Hamerton  calls  Rosa 
Bonheur  'the  most  accomplished  female  painter  who  ever  lived, 'and 
adds:  'She  is  a  pure  and  generous  woman  as  well,  and  can  hardly 
be  too  much  admired,  whether  we  regard  her  as  woman  or  artist. 
She  is  simple  in  her  tastes  and  habits  of  life,  and  many  stories  are 
told  of  her  generosity  to  others.'  "

206.  PILOTY,  CARL   THEODOR  Vox. — Thusnelda  at  the  Triumphal  Entry 
of  Germanicus  into  Rome. 

Painted  to  order  for  the  late  A.  T.  Stewart,  Esq.  At  the  request  of 
Emperor  William,  was  exhibited  in  Berlin  before  being  sent  to  this 
country.     The  large  painting  now  in  the  Munich  Gallery  was  painted 
subsequent  to  the  above. 
The  following  description  is  by  the  painter,  Piloty  : 

The  Emperor  Tiberius,  surrounded  by  his  Courtiers  (Favorites, 
Councillors,  Lictors,  Senators  and  Roman  Women,)  has  taken  his 
place  upon  a  tribune  under  a  spread  canopy,  in  order  that  the  tri- 
umphal procession  of  Germanicus  may  pass  before  him. 

Germanicus  appears  in  the  background  upon  a  triumphal  car, 
accompanied  by  his  five  sons,  surrounded  by  Trophies  of  Victory, 
and  is  greeted  by  the  applause  and  acclamations  of  the  people,  who 
are  to  be  seen  at  the  Arch  of  Triumph. 

In  front  of  the  car,  reaching  from  the  middle  distance  to  the 
foreground  of  the  picture,  are  the  German  Captives  being  led  in 
chains.  As  principal  figure  of  this  group  and  of  the  picture,  walks 
Thusnelda,  in  the  costume  of  the  Germans,  with  her  son,  Tumelicus 
(a  child  of  three  years),  accompanied  by  a  nurse  and  an  attendant. 
Before  her  is  the  Priest,  Libes.  coupled  (chained)  together  with  War- 
riors, escorted  by  Roman  Soldiers,  who  insult  them.  Behind  Thus- 
nelda are  to  be  seen  her  brothers,  leaders  of  the  Cherusker, 
chained  together,  with  bears,  etc.,  etc.  The  foreground  to  the  left 
is  occupied  by  populace  of  Rome,  who  mock  and  insult  Thusnelda. 

Thusnelda,  having  been  forcibly  carried  away  from  her  hus- 
band, Arminius  a  German  Prince,  by  her  father  Segestes,  was,  from 
reasons  which  appeared  to  him  advantageous  for  his  own  personal 
interests  and  the  condition  of  the  Germans,  betrayed  and  delivered 
into  the  hands  of  the  Romans. 

In  the  picture,  Tiberius  has  selected  Segestes  to  stand  before 
the  steps  of  his  throne   and  has  forced  him  to  witness  the  shame  of 
his  own  daughter  ;  he  is  mocked  by  the  Senators  sitting  near  him, 
they  point  to  the  prisoners  below. 

Strabo  describes,  as  an  eye-witness,  this  event  ;  he,  as  well  as 
Tacitus,  although  Romans,  express  plainly  their  sympathy  for  the

ality will  ever  be  a  poetical  subject  for  an  artist.

In  the  year  1857,  the  late  Mr.  Albert  Have meyer,  of  this  city, 
being  then  in  Berlin,  called  on  Baron  von  Humboldt  and  requested 
him  to  sit  to  the  eminent  artist,  Julius  Schrader,  for  his  portrait. 
The  Baron  was  obliged  to  decline  the  frequent  and  urgent  solicita- 
tions of  his  many  admirers  for  a  similar  favor,  but  having  in  the 
United  States  many  personal  friends  and  acquaintances  whom  he 
thought  would  be  gratified  to  see  a  good  portrait  of  himself,  cheer- 
fully consented  to  sit ;  and  taking  from  his  table  a  number  of 
sketches  made  by  himself,  he  selected  one  having  in  the  background 
Chimborazo,  and  said,  "  I  will  be  painted  sitting  here,"  designating 
the  spot  with  Chimborazo  in  the  distance.  The  artist  commenced 
the  picture  at  once,  and  at  its  completion  the  Baron  expressed  him- 
self as  delighted  with  it.  This  was  th<?  last  portrait,  from  life,  of 
Humboldt.

LETTER    FROM    THE    ARTIST    TO    MR.     A.     T.     STEWART. 

MY  DEAR  MR.  STEWART  : 

I  have  delayed  writing  you  because  my  letter  must  be  a  last 
adieu  to  a  work  of  many  years — an  act  of  final  separation.  You 
will  comprehend  why  I  wished  to  do  so  only  at  the  last  moment  j 
as,  however  great  may  be  my  satisfaction  to  know  you  are  to  be  its 
possessor,  I  can  only  part  with  it  with  pain — a  picture  which  has 
been  for  so  long  a  time  the  life  and  joy  of  my  studio. 

Le  voila,  that  which  will  be  soon  in7 your  possession,  be  good 
enough  to  receive  as  a  friend  ;  not  as  one  that  pleases  at  the  first 
contact,  and  is  then  soon  forgotten,  but  as  one  of  those  who,  by  inti- 
mate acquaintance,  is  loved  more  and  more.  Permit  me  to  believe 
that  when  you  are  looking  at  this  picture — on  which  I  have  bestowed 
all  the  science  and  experience  I  have  been  able  to  acquire  in  my  art 
— your  pleasure  will  constantly  grow  greater. 

I  have  the  conviction — which  I  do  not  express  without  a  certain 
pride — that  the  value  of  this  work  will  increase  with  time.  What 
may  or  can  be  said  of  it  will  pass  away,  but  the  picture  will  remain, 
to  be  an  honor  to  both  of  us  ;  and  although  it  can  defend  itself,  yet, 
among  the  thousands  of  persons  who  have  hastened  to  see  it,  many- 
have  done  it  injustice  with  a  certain  malevolent  appreciation — still 
I  have  the  right,  having  painted  it  with  so  much  sincerity  of  pur- 
pose, to  defend  and  explain  it.  Strange  as  this  may  appear,  it  must 
be  done  ;  because,  however  singular  may  be  the  fact,  some,  I  under- 
stand, have  not  been  pleased  to  go  and  see  for  themselves,  but 
have  adopted  the  unfair  judgment  of  others. 

I  did  not  intend  to  paint  a  Battle — I  wanted  to  paint  Napoleon 
at  the  zenith  of  his  glory  ;  I  wanted  to  paint  the  love,  the  adoration 
of  the  soldiers  for  the  great  Captain  in  whom  they  had  faith,  and 
for  whom  they  were  ready  to  die. 

I  previously  had  represented,  in  the  picture  "  1814,"  the  heart- 
rending end  of  the  Imperial  Dream — those  men,  only  recently  intox- 
icated with  glory,  now  shown  exhausted  and  no  longer  believing  in 
their  invincible  chief.  My  palette  then  did  not  have  colors  sad 
enough  for  the  purpose  ;  but  to-day,  in  "Friedland,  1807,"  wishing 
everything  to  appear  brilliant  at  this  triumphant  moment,  it  seemed 
to  me  I  was  unable  to  find  colors  sufficiently  dazzling.  No  shade 
should  be  upon  the  Imperial  face,  to  take  from  him  the  epic  char- 
acter I  wished  to  give  him.  The  battle,  already  commenced,  was 
necessary  to  add  to  the  enthusiasm  of  the  soldiers,  and  make  the

subject  stand  forth,  but  not  to  diminish  it  by  saddening  details. 
All  such  shadows  I  avoided,  and  presented  nothing  but  a  dis- 
mounted cannon  and  some  growing  wheat  which  would  never  ripen. 

This  was  enough. 

The  men  and  the  Emperor  are  in  the  presence  of  each  other. 
The  soldiers  cry  to  him  that  they  are  his,  and  the  impressive  Chief, 
whose  Imperial  will  directs  the  masses  that  move  around,  salutes 
his  devoted  army.  He  and  they  plainly  comprehend  each  other, 
and  absolute  confidence  is  expressed  in  every  face. 

Such  was  the  idea  as  it  leaped  from  my  brain  the  first  instant 
when  I  embodied  the  picture  in  thought  ;  and  which,  in  spite  of  the 
long  time  I  have  taken  to  put  it  on  canvas,  has  always  remained  with 
me  so  clear  and  plain  that  I  have  never  in  any  manner  modified  it. 

As  to  the  execution,  only  a  painter  (and  one  of  great  experi- 
ience)  can  say  what  time,  labor  and  patience  have  been  brought  to 
bear  upon  this  work  to  produce  a  single  whole  out  of  so  many 
diverse  elements.  Only  he  can  say  how  difficult  it  is,  from  such 
varied  materials,  to  put  aside  all  these  artifices  which  so  often  are 
used  in  art  to  cover  defects.  The  growing  wheat  is  even  proof  of 
the  difficulties  I  have  encountered  in  covering  it  with  the  dust 
which  hides  so  many  things. 

I  said  to  you  at  the  beginning,  and  again  let  me  repeat  it,  that 
I  have  faith  in  my  work.  Time  will  consolidate  and  strengthen  it 
more  and  more,  and  I  am  almost  certain  your  enlightened  love  for 
art  will  protect  it,  in  case  there  should  be  need. 

Now,  dear  sir,  let  me  close  by  offering  you  my  portrait.     You 
desire  to  have  one,  and  I  have  had  the  pleasure  of  painting  it  for 
you  myself.     With  it  I  trust  you  will  speak  of  me  more  intimately, 
and  will  always  be  enabled  to  recall  how  much  I  am, 
Your  devoted,

237.  MAIGNAN,  ALBERT. — L'Attentat  d'Anagni. 

Boniface  VIII.,  a  native  of  Anagni,  was  elected  Pope  in  1294. 
Philip  the  Fair,  of  France,  resisted  his  authority  in  spiritual  matters, 
and,  aided  by  Italian  enemies  of  the  Pope,  compelled  him  to  take 
refuge  in  his  native  town.  Hither  he  was  pursued  by  Sciarra 
Colonna,  at  that  time  head  of  the  most  celebrated  and  powerful  of  the 
Roman  aristocratic  families.  The  picture  represents  the  moment 
when  Boniface  says  to  his  assailants,  "  Here  is  my  neck  ;  here  is 
my  head  ;  strike!  but  I  will  die  Pope."  Boniface  was  thrown  into 
prison,  and  though  liberated  by  the  people  of  Anagni,  died  within  a 
month.  84x114.

PARIS,  May  29,   1879. 
MR.  HENRY  HILTON  : 

MY  DEAR  SIR — I  have  learned  with  great  pleasure  that  you  have 
become  the  purchaser  of  my  painting,  exhibited  this  year  in  our  Art 
Salon,  and  I  am  happy  that  it  finds  a  place  in  your  gallery,  which 
enjoys  a  very  great  reputation  in  France.  I  know  that  I  shall  be 
"in  good  company"  with  you,  and  it  is  so  much  the  more  gratifying 
to  me,  as  I  consider  this  last  painting  the  most  important  work  I 
have  ever  produced. 

The  episode  which  I  have  chosen  gives  scope  for  a  great  devel- 
opment of  subject.  It  is  the  moment  when  the  division  of  General 
Faron  (now  Inspector  of  Marine),  after  having  taken  Champigny, 
situated  above  the  Marne,  fortified  itself  in  the  village  and  defended^ 
foot  by  foot,  the  houses  and  enclosures  against  the  return  attack  of 
the  Saxony  and  Wurtemburg  divisions,  in  the  battle  of  2d  December, 
1870.  The  chateau  which  I  have  shown  is  one  of  those  which  is 
found  at  the  fork  of  the  two  roads  of  Chennevieres — a  place  well 
known  to  those  Parisians  who  took  part  in  the  scenes  of  the  siege  of 
Paris.  The  officer  shown  in  the  centre  of  the  picture  is  General 
Faron,  who  was  appointed  General  of  Division  on  the  field  of  battle^ 


.30  METROPOLITAN   MUSEUM  OF  ART. 

The  foot  soldiers  belong  to  the  H3th  Regiment  of  the  Line,  who  lost 
a  great  number  in  the  three  days  of  fight.  The  Sappers,  who  are 
making  the  embrasures  in  the  wall  to  allow  the  sharpshooters  to  fire 
under  protection,  and  are  barricading  the  opening  with  all  kinds  of 
material ;  the  artillerists,  who  are  placing  the  battery  guns  in  posi- 
tion ;  all  likewise  were  under  the  orders  of  General  Faron,  who  at 
this  time  commanded  the  right  wing  of  the  French  army. 

I  have  endeavored  to  portray,  in  the  most  exact  manner  possible, 
the  various  scenes  of  which  I  was  a  witness,  having  been  myself  a 
soldier  in  the  "Garde  Mobile"  during  the  siege  of  Paris  ;  and  in 
painting  this  work  I  have  had  the  advantage  of  being  able  to  repro- 
duce some  souvenirs  absolutely  personal.  I  attach,  therefore, 
much  importance  to  this  painting,  and  am  specially  desirous — outside 
of  the  Paris  Exhibition — for  permission  to  exhibit  it  in  Germany, 
where  I  have  been  very  particularly  solicited  to  show  my  military 
works. 

I  particularly  desire  to  be  represented  at  this  international  gather 
ing,  and  I  have  selected  naturally  this  my  most  important  work.  It  is 
the  first  time  since  the  war  of  1870  that  French  art  has  been  exhib- 
ited in  Germany,  and  the  presence  of  military  paintings  recalling 
souvenirs  of  the  late  war  will  add  a  peculiar  piquancy. 

I  have  always  been  very  sensible  of  the  favors  shown  me  in 
America,  and  I  am  happy  to  be  able  to  testify  this  to  you  especially. 

Receive,  sir,  the  expression  of  my  distinguished  regards,  etc.

290.  CONSTANT,  JEAN  JOSEPH  BENJAMIN. — Paris.  Born  in  Paris,  1845, 
Pupil  of  Cabanel.  Medals,  1875,  '76,  '78,  Legion  of  Honor,  1878. 
Officer  of  the  Legion  of  Honor,  1884.  Gold  Medal,  Exposition  Uni- 
verselle,  1889.  Justinian  in  Council.  Painted  and  exhibited  at 
Paris  Salon,  1888. 

Justinian  I.  '(Flavius  Anicius  Justinianus)  surnamed  the  great,  a 
Byzantine  Emperor,  born  at  Tauresium,  a  village  near  Sardica  (now 
Sophia)  in  Bulgaria,  in  482,  or  483  ;  died,  565.  He  was  the  son  of  a 
poor  barbarian  family,  but  his  elevation  was  promoted  by  his  uncle 
Justin  I.  who,  shortly  before  his  death  in  527,  adopted  him  as  Co- 
Emperor.  The  political  event  of  his  reign  may  be  summed  up  in  the 
wars  of  Belisarius  and  the  eunuch  Narses,  who  obtained  successes 
over  the  Persians  in  the  East,  and  the  Vandals  and  Goths  in  Italy, 
and  in  the  terrible  sedition  which  broke  out  at  Constantinople  in  532. 
The  glory  of  his  reign  is  the  famous  digest  of  Roman  law,  known 
generally  as  the  Justinian  Code,  which  was  compiled  out  of  the  Gre- 
gorian, Theodosian,  Hermogenian  codes,  by  the  ablest  lawyers  of 
the  empire,  under  the  genius  of  the  juris-consult,  Tribonian.  Their 
labors  consist — I.  of  the  "  Statute  Law,"  or  Justinian  Code,  properly 
so  called.  II.  "  The  Pandects,"  a  digest  of  the  decisions  and  opinions 
of  former  magistrates  and  lawyers — these  two  compilations  consisted 
of  matter  that  lay  scattered  through  more  than  two  thousand  volumes, 
now  reduced  to  fifty.  III.  "  The  Institutes,"  an  abridgment  in  four 
books,  containing  the  substance  of  all  the  laws  in  elementary  form. 
IV.  The  laws  of  modern  date,  including  Justinian's  own  edicts,  col- 
lected into  ope  volume,  and  called  "The  New  Code."  These  labors 
which  a  Caesar  had  not  been  able  to  accomplish,  were  completed  by 
the  year  541.  Besides  this  important  work  of  imperial  reform,  Jus- 
tinian was  a  great  builder  and  engineer,  and  works  of  public  utility 
were  kept  constantly  in  progress  in  all  parts  of  the  empire.  He  was 
remarkable  for  his  temperance  and  chastity,  and  not  less  for  his  great 
learning  and  diligent  application  to  business.
